Can you answer this before I get my MIT rejection letter.

BTW, are you mollie the blogger from MIT, if so I really enjoy your blogs .

I am. That’s actually why I know the blogs so well – the summer after my senior year, I sat on Ben Jones’ couch and transferred all of the blog entries that existed at the time to a new server and fixed all of the links.</p>

Given the fact that many top colleges refuse to participate in the SAT choice plan that is soon to be available, it’s clear to me they want to look at more than just the scores you choose to send.

MIT is exceedingly clear that they consider only a student’s highest scores in admissions decisions, regardless of the existence of other lower scores ([source](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/standardized_test_requirements/testing_requirements_faq_1.shtml]source[/url]”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/standardized_test_requirements/testing_requirements_faq_1.shtml)</a>). </p>

<p>I think they may view resisting score choice as a move to resist re-testing mania, rather than a move to view all scores an applicant receives, per se. To view it cynically, they’re only interested in the highest scores an applicant receives, because superscoring allows them to publish higher stats for the admitted class.</p>
